ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Thanks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
!Thanks!
I've got a lot of people to thank for their help while I was building this and
previous Smalled versions. Thanks to:
First the beta testers who kept me going, especially
-Peter Landstreet (Barent)
-Paulo Mario dos S. D. de Moraes
My wife and two kids for constantly interrupting and showing me what's
really important.
Rich Walsh for sharing the DT rendering method with me.
An increasing number of users who send me their comments.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Startup parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled only supports one startup parameter at the moment. If a program object
is created of smalled with the parameter /H or the /H is used on the command
line, Smalled will execute the Smalled HTML Extensions automaticly.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. The Smalled controls ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled can be controlled/handled through the normal menu bar, the toolbar or
the context-popups. Besides that Smalled will respond in any way to direct
manipulation (d&d) and supports a number of hot keys (accelerators) which can
be changed.
This section is organized in the same way as the menu's are setup.
Main menu
- File-menu
- Edit-menu
- Options-menu
- Tools-menu
The toolbar
The Statusbar
Popups
- The context popup menu
- Statusbar Wrap popup
- Statusbar Indent popup
Drag-n-drop
Hotkeys and mouse
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.1. The Statusbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled has a configurable graphic statusbar. It contains four area's in which
information is displayed.
The color of the statusbar can be changed by dropping a color on it. This color
will be saved when Smalled is closed. The font used can also be changed by
dropping a font. The width of the message area's will be set to match the font.
The hight however will not change.
To configure the statusbar use the Statusbar preference page from the
preferences dialog.
The Wrap and Indent areas feature a popup that will enable you to change the
Indent and Wrap modes for the current document. To activate these popups use
the context-menu button (most likely the RMB) on the wrap or indent area's. The
main-message area also contains a popup, this is the same popup as in the
main-edit area.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.2. The Toolbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The toolbar is the row of small icons (smarticons) at the top of the window.
By using the mouse and clicking once on these buttons, you're able to start the
most frequently used functions. The toolbar also provides Bubble-help.
Bubble-help can be toggled by doubleclicking mousebutton2 om the toolbar area.
The Toolbar can also be modified in a number of way's (see the toolbar
preferences) or be toggled on and ofquickly.
The icons in the toolbar have the following functions:
By doubleclicking the icon right here in the help file, you'll get more
extensive help about the feature attached to the button.
-New.
-Open
-Insert file.
-Save.
-Save as.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3. The File menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The file menu contains a number of options which enable you to handle a file
from and to disk, or to print it. From the items listed below, the New, Open,
Insert file, Save and Print options are included in the toolbar.

Save-n-exit
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.1. New ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The way New will react depands on the setting for New in the general
preferences page. New will either clear the current document and will set the
filename to: Untitled.fil, or a new Smalled session will be started.
A new document can also be created by using open with a non-existing filename,
this invokes a new action and the name of the new file is set to the name
entered.
Another way to invoke new is through drag-n-drop. Simply drag the Smalled
titlebar-icon to the shredder.
If you select New or press the new button and Smalled settings won't let
Smalled start a new session on new, Smalled will first check if the file you're
currently editing has changed since load-time or since the last time it was
last saved. If this is the case, you will be prompted if the current contents
of Smalled have to be saved. You can reply with:
Cancel: cancels the whole operation. You will return in the current
document.
No: doesn't save the current file, but it will perform the new operation.
Yes: saves the current file and performs the new operation.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.2. Opening a file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A document can be opened by selecting Open from the file menu or by clicking
the open button The way this takes place depends on the settings for Open in
the general preferences page.
If Smalled doesn't open a new session for the selected file, a check will be
aplied if the file you're currently editing has changed since load-time or
since the last time it was saved. If this is the case, you will be prompted if
the current contents of Smalled have to be saved. You can reply with:
Cancel: cancels the whole operation. You will return in the current
document.
No: doesn't save the current file, but it start the fileopen dialog. The
contents of Smalled aren't distroyed yet, so if you press cancel in the
fileopen dialog, smalled returns to the current text.
Yes: saves the current file and it will start the fileopen dialog.
The fileopen dialog will be opened in the directory set with the set default
directory dialog. This can be either a default directory or the directory in
which the last opened file resides.
If a filename is entered in the file open dialog, that doesn't exist, Smalled
will assume that you want to create a new file. It will clear the current
contents of smalled and set the filename in the titlebar to the name entered.
So if a nonexisting filename is entered, Open functions like New with the
ability to set a new filename. If you do this, an alarm will sound and the
statusbar will mention what you're doing.
An other way of opening a file is to use the drag-n-drop capability of OS/2.
If a file object is dropped on the Smalled icon, Smalled will be started and
the dropped object will be opened. Drag-n-drop can also be used when Smalled
is already started. If an object is dropped on the Edit area, the dropped file
will be opened. If Smalled already contains text, this drop will have the
effect of a Insert file action. The contents of the dropped file will be
inserted at the point were the file is dropped (droppoint).
Besides getting the file contents into Smalled, there are some values loaded
from the extended attributes if the file was previously saved with Smalled.
The font, tab, wrap, Indent and cursor position settings are loaded from the
extended attributes.
Smalled can handle large files. However, some operations may become rather
slow as files grow very large (>800Kb). However, most of the time this
shouldn't be a problem because Smalled is multi-threaded. You may start
editing or searching while Smalled is still loading a file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.3. Insert file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If Insert file is selected from the File menu or if the Insert file button is
pressed, Smalled will start an action which has a large similarity with opening
a file. The fileopen dialog will be started using the directory set with the
Set default directory dialog and a filename can be entered. If the filename
doesn't exist, you will be prompted so.
If the file exists, it will be opened and the contents of this file will be
inserted at the current cursor position. The name of the file which is
currently being edited will be preserved. The font, tab, indent and wrap
settings of the Inserted file will NOT be used. The retrieved text will use the
settings of the current file. There is however one xeption. If you're
retrieving a file while the smalled doesn't contain anything, it will handle a
file-insert as a fileopen.
An alternative way of retrieving a file is to use the drag-n-drop capability
of OS/2. If a file object is dropped on the Edit area, the file contents will
be inserted in the current text at the position of the drop (droppoint).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.4. Reload file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Reload file, destroys all currently made changes and reloads the file currently
being edited. If there are changes in the current document, a messagebox will
popup with the warning that all changes will be discarded. At that point the
reload action can be aborted.
This option isn't available if the file being edited is Untitled.fil. (check
the title-bar for the current filename).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.5. Shred file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Shred file deletes the file currently loaded without any further warning. As a
safety catch, the changed status of the document is set. This way an unwanted
Shred can be undone by saving the file. Note that if changes are made, the
document saved will not be the same as the document that's deleted!
Besides this safety, you can also choose to automaticly invoke a backup before
a shred is performed. Check out the Shred directory in theBackup preferences
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.6. Backup file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Backup file will create a backup of the original of the file currently being
edited. How this backup is created depends on the settings in the Backup
preferences. With this option backups can be created if you want to control the
backups that are made. For example, you may want to create a backup before you
save a file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.7. Save ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Saving the Smalled contents can be done by choosing the Save option from the
File menu, by pressing the save button ,by using the popup or by use
drag-n-drop. There is also a CTRL-S hotkey that will invoke save. Smalled will
save the contents, even if they aren't changed since last save or since
load-time.
When a file is saved, the number of bytes saved to disk are displayed in the
statusbar. At the end of the save action the statusbar will display that the
file is saved including the total number of bytes saved. Normally this goes
very fast.
If a file is saved, not only the contents are saved, but also the used font
,the current wrap mode, the current Indent, tab size and the current cursor
position. These settings are saved in the Extended attributes. This way the
files can still be handled as pure ASCII.The drawback is that saving a file on
a fat drive may take extra time because the ea's on a fat drive must be saved
in a separate file.
The name used for saving the file is displayed in the titlebar. If the titlebar
contains the name Untitled.fil, Smalled assumes that you're editing a new file
and no filename has been entered yet. The standard file dialog will be started
so that a valid name may be entered.
If the current name isn't the name you want to use for the file, use save as
to save the Smalled contents.
There is another (rather rude) way to save the Smalled contents. When Smalled
is exited, the current contents are checked if they're changed since load-time
or since the last save action. If this is the case, you're prompted if the
current contents have to be saved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.8. Save as ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Save as option of the file menu has as main purpose to save an existing
file under a new name. Normally the filename of the contents is diplayed in the
titlebar. The name displayed will be used when Save as starts the standard file
dialog. After the Save as action, the filename used for the file saved will be
changed in the filename used for save as. If you don't want that name to be
changed use the copy to file option in the same menu.
If a text-selection is active in the edit area, the fileopen dialog will show a
checkbox which will enable you to save the selected text to a file. If this
option is choosen, the filename for the current text won't be changed.
If the filename entered in the save dialog already exists, you're prompted. At
that point you can choose to overwrite the existing file or to cancel the save
as action.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.9. copy to file... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The copy to file action enables you to save the file currently being edited
under another name (and in another path or drive) without changing the current
filename. This way it's easy to make multiple copies of one text-file. If copy
to file is activated, the standard file dialog is started. In the header of
that dialog you can see that copy to is started.
If a text-selection is active in the edit area, the fileopen dialog will show a
checkbox which will enable you to save the selected text to a file.
You may use all the facilities of the file open dialog, it won't affect the
file you're currently editing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.10. Autosave ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Tthe Autosave function is a toggle. The initial state of this item depends on
the setting in the Backup preferences page.
If this menuitem is togled on, Smalled will start counting the changes you
make in the current document. Every letter you type, as well as changing the
font or tabs is concidered a change. If the number of changes that is given in
the preference page is reached, Smalled will save the current file if it has a
valid filename (it won't work for untitled.fil).
Depending on the backup settings a backup will be created on this event.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.11. Print ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
By choosing the print option in the File menu or if the print button is
selected, a print dialog is started. From this dialog you can print the entire
text, or a selection if one is active. If a selection has to be printed, check
the "print selected text" checkbox. Another attractive way to print the text or
a selection is by using drag-n-drop. If this dialog is activated, the default
printer will be hilited. If you've got more printers installed, another printer
can be selected by hiliting the printername. (It may be a good idea to install
more printerobjects even if you've only got one physical printer. Every
printerobject can have a different set of properties. For example, one printer
for draft, one for landscape, etc.)
The print job properties for the printjob you're about to start can be modified
by choosing the setup button. A printer specific setup dialog will appear. This
dialog is contained in the printer driver and has its own help.
If the print button is hit,Smalled will start printing. The Smalled print
routine is multi-threaded. This means you can work while Smalled is printing.
The Smalled print routine is a two staged routine. In the first stage, the
contents of the edit area are read. During this action a red slider will show
the progress made. During this red period, you shouldn't make any changes in
the text. Any changes made during this period may show up in the print
(depending on whether Smalled has already handled the line you're working on).
The next stage in printing is the actual printing. The progress in this action
is shown by a yellow slider. During this action every function in Smalled may
be performed, it won't disturb the printout. Exiting Smalled at this time will
cause the printjob to be discarded without any further notice!
The Smalled print facility features WYSIWYG printing. The way things look on
screen, they will appear on paper. There is a simple trick to create a
print-preview with the OS/2 system. Open the print object you want to print to
and activate the object popup. In the popup of a printer there is an option
named "Change status". With this option the spooler can be told to hold the
printjobs. If this option is flagged, the printjobs aren't sent to the printer,
but it will appear in the printer object. To view the contents simply
double-click in the job you want to view. OS/2 will start a viewer and you can
view the contents of tge print on-screen. (Future versions of Smalled will
contain a print-preview option)
WYSIWYG printing in Smalled means:
The font used in the edit area is the same font as used by the printer. If a
font incompatebility occurs, the print routine will try to match the printer
font as close as possible to the used screen font. An example: The system font
or the vio fonts aren't supported by printers. These are typical screenfonts
developed for fast screendisplay. If these fonts are printed OS/2 tries to
match them as closely as possible to one of the available fonts. In most cases
this will mean that Courier is selected because this is in most cases the only
other available non-proportional font. All ATM fonts are supported.
The tab size as set in the Smalled is also used in the printed document. This
means that the width of the tabs is also used by the print-function By using
tabs it's possible to create tables.
The tab size as set in the Smalled is also used in the printed document. This
means that the width of the tabs is also used by the print-function By using
tabs it's possible to create tables.
If word wrap is on, the width of the lines printed are set by the size of the
main Smalled window! This means that Smalled uses the width of the Smalled main
window to set the width of the printed text. So a litteral copy of every
textline as you see them on the screen will appear on the printout.
Note that in a fullscreen (maximized) Smalled session with word-wrap, the lines
always exceed the width of the print-paper!
There's no checking if the line width exeeds the printer page width! So if you
print very long lines, they are clipped at the side of the page. To prevent
this from happening, us the preview described above.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.12. File information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The file information option in the file menu gives the possibility to get some
more information about the file you're currently editing. This option will only
work if the file you're editing is already present on disk. If you're editing a
new document, file information won't be available.
File information gives info about:
- Current filename
- Current filesize
- Allocated filesize
- Creation date (HPFS only)
- Last access (HPFS only)
- Last write
- File attributes
Besides that it gives information about five settings saved in the extended
attributes.
- Used font
- Wrap mode
- Linelength
- Indent mode
- Used tabsize
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.13. Save-n-Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Save-n-Exit is a shortcut for exiting Smalled and saving the current contents
at the same time. This option is available in the File-menu or trough a Toolbar
button.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.3.14. Exit ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Exiting Smalled can be done by double clicking on the system icon, by
selecting the exit option of the file menu, by clicking the exit button in the
titlebar or by using the F3 button. In all cases Smalled will check if the
file contents are changed since the last save action or since load-time. If
this is the case, you are prompted if the file has to be saved, if the exit
procedure should be canceled or if Smalled should quit without saving the
changes.
If the current filename is Untitled.fil, selecting Yes from the dialog will
start the save as file dialog, so you can enter a valid filename.
If a Smalled print session is active, it is discarded as Smalled exits!
Smalled will also exit if CTRL-x or ALT-F4 is pressed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4. The Edit-menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Smalled Edit-menu contains the items used to modify (or used in modifying)
the contents of the Smalled edit area. The Edit-menu contains the following
items:
- Undo
- Cut
- Cut line
- Copy
- Paste
- Clear
- Goto line
- Find
- Find again
- Replace
- Select all
- Deselect all
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.1. Undo ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Undo can be activated through the Edit-menu Undo option or by hitting the
button.
Undo will try to undo (or redo) the last action. Smalled contains a one level
undo buffer. This means only the last action can be undone!
Font changes can also be undone or redone. So a fontchange if it is invoked by
a fontdrop or by setting the font through the font dialog can be undone.
Because Smalled has a one level undo, changing the font will destroy the
contents of the undo buffer. So after a font change a cut, paste or clear
action can't be undone!
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.2. Cut ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Cut can be activated through the Edit-menu option Cut, by hitting the button
or by using the Shift-Del key combination. If there's no text selected, the cut
option is not available. Cut is also available through the popup-menu if
there's text selected. If cut is used to move text in Smalled, or between
multiple instances of smalled (or EPM), it's more conveniant to use
drag-n-drop.
Cut deletes the selected text from the edit area and copies it to the
Clipboard. The text cut to the clipboard can be retrieved anywhere in the text
by using the paste function. When cut is invoked, any previous text contents of
the clipboard are destroyed. The Cut operation in Smalled is supported in the
main edit area and in several dialogs, in which parts of the text can be
selected like in the find, replace and the file-dialog. Use mouse or
Shift-arrow to select and cut to the clipboard (Shift-Del).
The maximum amount of text you may cut to the clipboard is limited to 64 Kb in
Smalled. If you try to cut more then 64 Kb. Smalled will give an error message
and discard the cut operation. This is because Smalled is based on the MLE
control which has this restriction. In future releases of smalled this
restriction may be overcome. This limitation isn't there if drag-n-drop is used
when moving text.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.3. Cut line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Since version 1.20 the cut-line option has been added. This option can also be
activated by using the CTRL-Y hotkey. This key-combination is very popular in
many editors. It cuts the current line to the clipboard. It doesn't matter if
WRAP is turned on or off. So a line is not a piece of text between two <CR>
characters but a line as visible on the screen.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.4. Copy ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Copy can be activated through the Edit-menu option Copy, by hitting the
button or the Control-Ins key combination. If there's no text selected, the
copy option is not available. If there's text selected, copy is also available
from the popup-menu. There's is also another way to use copy. You can use the
Smalled drag-n-drop possibility. Drag the selected text to the point where you
want it and simply drop it.
Copy copies the selected text to the Clipboard so it can be used somewhere else
in a paste operation. The selected text remains unchanged although previous
text contents of the clipboard are destroyed. Text can be copied from the main
edit area and from several dialogs, in which parts of the text can be selected
like in the find, replace and the file-dialog. Use mouse or Shift-arrow to
select text and copy it to the clipboard by invoking Control-Ins.
In Smalled a copy operation is limited to 64Kb. So if you select more then 64
Kb of text and try to copy it to the clipboard an error message is displayed
and the copy action will be discarded! This limitation isn't operartional if
text is copied by invoking a drag-n-drop operation. Through Drag-n-drop you can
copy any amount of text in a document or between documents. So Drag and Drop
doesn't have the 64 Kb limit.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.5. Paste ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Paste can be activated through the Edit-menu option Paste, by hitting the
button or the Shift-Ins key combination. If there's no text in the clipboard,
the paste option is not available. If the clipboard contains text, Paste may
also be selected from the popup-menu. If cut is used to move text in Smalled,
or between multiple instances of smalled (or EPM), it's more conveniant to use
drag-n-drop.
Paste copies the data from the Clipboard (if there is any) to the current
cursor position in the main window . If any text is currently selected, it will
be deleted and replaced by the contents of the clipboard. If you want to
perform a paste in a dialog window, use Shift-Ins.
The amount of text that smalled can paste is limited to 64Kb. If you try to
paste more then 64 Kb of text, Smalled will give an error message and the
paste operation is discarded. This limitation isn't there when Drag-n-drop is
used.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.6. Clear ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Clear can be activated through the Edit-menu option Clear, by hitting the
button or the delete key. If there's no text currently selected, the clear
option is not available. If there's text selected, Clear may also be invoked
from the popup-menu. Besides using the clear button or popup you may also drag
the selected text to the shredder. The effect will be the same as deleting the
text. Shredded text can also be undone.
A clear action deletes the currently selected text. This action can eventually
be undone by using Undo.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.7. Find ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The find dialog can be activated by using the Edit menu Find... option, by
hitting the button or by using the CTRL-F hotkey. Besides that, Find may also
be invoked from the popup-menu, if it is configured that way. The find dialog
is a modeless dialog. This means you can open it and still keep on working in
the edit area. If the dialog window is clicked, or the replace menu-option or
button is clicked, the dialog will become active.
In the find dialog a find item can be entered. The maximum length of a find
item is 64 characters. If the find button is hit, a search will be conducted
through the text. This search can be tailored. Since version 1.00, two
checkboxes are added for this purpose. Normally a search will start at the
current cursor position and keep searching until the end of the file is reached
or the desired item is found. By checking the global checkbox, the search will
be conducted from the top of the file. Through the second checkbox, the search
can be made case-sensitive. This means that an exact match of the search-item
concerning upper- and lower case characters is performed. If this checkbox
isn't flagged, the search doesn't make a difference between upper- and lower
case characters. If a match is found, it will be hilited (selected). If no
matching item is found, a message is displayed.
If a find is invoked, Smalled will also set a so-called jumppoint. This enables
you to return quickly to the point from where the find was invoked.
If an item is found, the find dialog will dissapear. If the entered item has to
be searched again, it's possible to invoke the Find option again. Although a
simpler aproach is to use the Find again option.
It is possible to move the find dialog around. Everytime this dialog is
invoked, it will look at the settings you set through Preferences. If the Use
last Find-dialog position was checked, the last position will be used to
display the dialog. If this setting was not checked, the dialog will be
displayed relative to the mouse-pointer. So you can position the dialog in the
place you find the most conveniant. Besides the position, the dialog will also
remember the last entered search item.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.8. Find Again ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Find again can be activated by using the Edit-menu Find again option or by
hitting the button. For the find again action, there are also two hotkeys
defined. Find again will also be invoked if F2 or CTRL-a is pressed. Besides
that, Find again may also be invoked from the popup-menu, if it is configured
that way.
This option can only be used if the find action has been invoked at least once.
If find has been invoked, the search-text is preserved. Find again will use
this search-text. Find again will conduct a non-casesensitive search from the
current cursor position until the end off the file or until a matching item is
found. If a match is found, it will be hilited (selected). If no match is
found, an error message will be displayed.
If Find again is invoked, Smalled will reset the jumppoint.This enables you to
return quickly to the point from where the last Find (again) was invoked.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.9. Replace ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The replace dialog can be activated by using the Edit-menu Replace... option,
by hitting the button or by using the CTRL-R hotkey. Besides that, Replace may
also be invoked from the popup-menu if it is configured that way. The replace
dialog is a modeless dialog. This means you can open it and still keep on
working in the edit area. If the dialog window is clicked, or the replace
menu-option or button is clicked, the dialog will become active.
In the replace dialog, a target string and a replacement string can be entered.
With these strings, several actions can be started.
- Next: if an item has already been found and selected, Next will try to find
the next match from the cursor on down. If a match has been selected, Next will
leave it alone and will try to find the next match.
- Replace: if no item has yet been found, the replace action will first locate
a possible match and select it. This match isn't replaced yet. If replace is
hit again, the selected match will be replaced and Smalled will try to locate
the next match from the cursor on down.
- All: All will replace all matches from the cursor on down, without prompting
the user.
- Cancel: cancels the replace action and closes the replace dialog.
If no replacement string is entered and the replace action is started, the
target string is deleted (when found).
The search action the replace dialog conducts, works just like find. (In fact
it uses the same code.) Since version 1.00, two checkboxes are added to the
replace dialog. If Global is checked, the first search for the target-item will
be conducted from the top of the file, if it concernes the replace key and the
all key. Next always searches from the cursor position. If global isn't
checked, the search always goes from the current cursor position.
The replace dialog will remember the place it is dragged to, so the next time
replace is invoked, the dialog will check the settings in Preferences. If the
Use last Rplace-dialog position is checked, the dialog will open at the last
used position, if it isn't checked, the dialog will appear relative to the
mouse-pointer. This enables you to put the replace dialog in a spot you find
the most conveniant. This position will be remembered through sessions. Besides
remembering the dialog window place, the target and replacement strings are
also remebered (although not between sessions).
Replace also sets a jumppoint. So by invoking CTRL-J, the cursor will jump to
the last point the cursor was before the replace.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.10. Select all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select all will make a selection of all the text entered in Smalled. Don't use
this option if you want to delete all text in a large file. This takes a lot of
time because the complete file contents will be transfered into the undo
buffer! Better and faster is to use the New option from the File menu.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.11. Deselect all ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Deselect all will undo the current text selection. There are two horkey's
assigned to this function, The standard OS/2 Ctrl-\ and (more convenient) the
ESC key.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.12. Goto line ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
There are several ways to go to a specific line. You may use the Goto Line
option of the Edit menu or the CTRL-G hot-key to activate the goto line dialog.
Besides that, Goto again may also be invoked from the popup-menu if it is
configured that way. This dialog can be handled through use of the keyboard
or by using the mouse. You may use the up - and down arrow keys to scroll to
all the possible line nr's (it automaticly switches between 1 and the maximum
linenr and vice versa). It's also possible to click with the mouse on the
arrows displayed with the spinbutton.
If a goto is invoked, the jumppoint will be reset to the current line before
the jump, so that with a stroke of CTRL-J the cursor returns to the last point
before goto was invoked.
Another (easy) way to change the current line, is to invoke active vertical
scrolling . You can grab the vertical scrollbar with the mouse and drag it. The
text will then scroll, meanwhile the linenumber of the topmost line will be
displayed in the statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.4.13. Jumppoint ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Since version 1.0, Smalled knows a so-called jumppoint. A jumppoint can be
used for fast switching between two points in the text. If a file is opened,
Smalled will look if it is a file previously saved with Smalled. If this is the
case, Smalled will restore the last cursor position. At that moment, the
jumppoint is initialized with a 1.
If the jumppoint hotkey CTRL-J is pressed, the cursor will jump to line 1 and
the corsor position from where the jump took off is saved as the next
jumppoint. So if CTRL-J is pressed again, the cursor will return to the place
before the jump and the jumppoint is set again to the linenr from where the
jump took off.
Setting Jumppoints :
a jumppoint can be set by invoking a jumppoint. If CTRL-J is pressed, the
cursor position from where the jump took off will be the next jumppoint.
Find and replace will also set jumppoints. If a find/replace is invoked and the
cursor moves to a find match, the place from where the find was invoked is
stored as a jumppoint. So pressing CTRL-J will return to the place before the
jumppoint. Note that the next jumppoint is the place where find found a match!
A jumppoint is also set as goto is invoked. The cursorpoint from where goto
took off, is set as jumppoint.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5. The Options menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The options menu contains items with which the working mode of Smalled can be
changed.
Set font
Tab set
Wrap
Indent
Use defaults
Toggle toolbar
Toggle statusbar
Text info
Preferences
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.1. Set font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The current font can be set by selecting the button or by selecting the
fonts.. option in the options-menu. This will start the Standard font dialog.
Through this dialog a font can be set as current font. If a font is selected,
this will be displayed in the statusbar. A font change can be undone by using
Undo .
You can also activate the conditional cascade after this menu-item. This will
give you the extra choice of activating the default or the alternate font as
they are set in the text preferences page.
A more elegant way is to use Drag-n-Drop. By opening the font palette in the
system setup folder, you can select a font and drop it on the edit area.
Smalled will change the current font to the dropped font. The new font will be
displayed in the statusbar. If the file is saved, this font will be remembered
when the file is reopened or retrieved. This way of setting a font can also be
appleid to menu's and the statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.2. Use default font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If Use default font is selected, the font set as default font in the text
preferences page. will be retrieved from the OS2.INI file and activated. This
font change is confirmed in the statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.3. Use Alternate font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If Use Alternate font is selected, the font set as Alternate font in the text
preferences page. will be retrieved from the OS2.INI file and activated. This
font change is confirmed in the statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.4. tab set ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If the Tab set option from the options menu is activated, a dialog will be
displayed.
In this dialog, the new tabsize in mm can be entered or the tabsize can be
restored to the default value. There are two prossible choices possible for
tabs, A tab key can generate a tab character, or a number of spaces. If the
spaces option is choosen, Smalled will intelligently apply these spaces. For
example if the current position is 14 and the space tabsize is 10, Smalled will
add 6 spaces.
The tab setting used in the edit area will also be used while printing.
Besides that it will be saved in EA's of the file when the file is saved. This
includes the setting for spaces or tabs and the size for both of them. A
document can be set to spaces-tabs, but still contain tab characters. If this
is the case the setting in mm for the tabs will be used.
The defaults used by the tab dialog can be set in the text prefrences
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.5. Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled supports Word-wrap and Line-wrap which can be controlled through the
Wrap submenu or by the Statusbar Wrap-popup.
By using the Wrap option in the Options menu, the Wrap-toggle button or Ctrl-W,
the wrap status will toggle. This will be reflected in the wrap-area of the
statusbar.
Word-wrap mode (W-Wrap) will wrap the lines that exceed the width of the edit
area. window to the next line. Resizing the window will cause a reordering of
the text. Word-wrap doesn't add any <cr> (newline) characters to the text.
Word wrap can be used to set the page width for a print job. If word wrap is
turned on, the print routine will calculate the line width and use it while
printing.
Line-wrap mode (L-Wrap) will automaticly insert a <cr> character when a certain
linelength is reached. The linelength that is used can be set to a default
value with the text-preferences page. If a different value needed in the
current document, it can be set by using the Set linelength dialog.
If the Line-wrap mode is turned on, the current document won't be reflowed! The
Linewrap mode only applies to the current line and will be active when typing
in text. If you like to reformat the document or parts of it, use the
text-formatting tools.
The Wrap submenu is almost identical to the statusbar-wrap-area popup. These
menu's contain the following items:
Toggle wrap (submenu only).
Wrap off.
Line-wrap.
Word-wrap.
Default wrap.
Set linelength
The Toggle wrap has the effect as using the menuitem wrap in Options without
using the submenu arrow. It toggles to the next wrap state (Wrap off, L-Wrap,
W-Wrap).
One of the items in the submenu or the popup (Off, Line-wrap or Word-wrap)
will be checked to show which one is currently active. By activating the
default option, the setting from the text-preferences will be used.
The default setting for wrap can be set using the Text preferences. The
default will be used if a new file is created or a file with no smalled ea's
attached is loaded. Besides that, the Wrap setting (as well as the linelength)
used in a document will be stored in the file ea's when a document is saved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.6. Linelength dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Linelength dialog can be activated through the wrap submenu or through the
statusbar-wrap popup menu.
Through this dialog, the linelength currently used for a document can be
changed. This will affect the following parts of Smallled that rely on the
linelength setting :
Line-wrap (if on).
the settings in the Text-formatting-dialog.
Action taken by Reflow.
Action taken by Linebreak.
The length set in this dialog will be saved in the ea's of a file when the
document is saved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.7. Indent ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The automatic indenting mode can be controlled by the Indent item in the
options menu, by using the statusbar indet popup, By the Ctrl-D hotkey or by
pressing the indent button on the toolbar. The statusbar will show the indent
status for the current document.
Indenting inserts spaces or tab characters after a <cr> character is inserted
and so aligning it with the previous line. To do this the indent characters are
taken from the previous line.
Indenting is fully compatible with the Line-wrap mode This means that if a line
is indented and the Line-wrap mode will invoke a <cr>, Smalled will advance on
to the next line and add an indent. Indenting is not campatible with Word-Wrap.
The reason for this is that Word-Wrap does not insert <cr> characters in the
text.
The Indent submenu and the indent statusbar popup contain (almost) the same
features:
Toggle indent (Indent submenu only)
Indent on.
Indent off.
Default.
The Toggle indent has the effect as using the menuitem indent in Options
without using the submenu arrow. It toggles indent state.
The on or off item will be checked to show if indent is currently active. By
activating the default option, the setting from the text-preferences will be
used.
The default setting for indent can be set using the Text preferences.. The
default will be used if a new file is created or a file with no smalled ea's
attached is loaded. Besides that, the indent setting used in a document will
be stored in the file ea's when a document is saved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.8. Use defaults ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled uses a number of settings regarding the way text is handled. They are
set using the Text preferences With the Use defaults menu option all the
settings as set in the text prefrences are being set for the current document.
This means the Tab, Wrap, Indent and Font settings will be set to default. Any
previous settings will be lost.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.9. Toolbar Toggle ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The toolbar can be toggled on and off in Smalled. This can be done by the
toolbar menu option in the Options menu or by hitting the CTRL-= Hotkey.
To change the default visibility of the toolbar use the Toolbar preference
page.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.10. Statusbar ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The statusbar can be toggled on and of by the Statusbar item in the options
menu.
To change the default visibility of the statusbar use the Statusbar preference
page.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.11. Text info ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Text info supplies the user with some information about the text currently
loaded. Text info will display the number of characters and the font currently
used in the statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12. Preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Smalled preferences are organized in a notebook in which each page handles
a certain cluster of items. If a change is made in one of the settings
displayed in this notebook, these changes will take effect immediatly. This
means the settings for the current document will be changed!. The Smalled
preferences notebook has the following pages:
General
Backup
Text
Toolbar
Popup
Statusbar
Colors
Dialogs
Default dirs
Tools
If the dialog is closed, the page that is on top will be remebered and will
be the default page the next time the preferences dialog is opened.
The accelerator keys Smalled uses can also be edited. This can't be done
through the preferences pages, but is done interactive through the Accelerator
editor. This editor is started by holding down the ALT key while selecting a
menu item. Changes will be saved and shown in the menu's.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.1. General preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The general area contains three area's. Exit button: This creates an X button
in the titlebar next to the max-min buttons. This is a very convenient button,
however if you're using utilities like Xit or NPSWPS or if you're using Warp
4.0, this button is unnesecary.
Auto-cascade controles the behaviour of the Smalled main window when more
Smalled instances are opened (see also New Smalled session and starting more
Smalled instances). When the autocascade button is checked, new Smalled windows
will be shown cascaded on the desktop. If the autocascade button is of, Smalled
instances will be show over each other (handy for users with small screens).
Open/New behaviour In this section the action taken on open and new can be
modified. If these buttons are checked, New and open will start a new Smalled
session. So the current document won't be moved from the current session. Open
only starts a new session if the current Smalled session is filled and if a
file is selected.
Original filename on save: When a document or a part of a document is saved
through d&d, Smalled uses the default filename that the WPS returns. Usually
this is "Data File". If this checkbox is flagged, the name in the titlebar is
used as the save-name. This only works if there is a valid filename in the
titlebar. If it's showing untitled.fil, the WPS default will be used.
Use Smalled drag-n-drop: It is possible to partly deactivate Smalled's d&d
interface. If this button is flagged, the full d&d interace of Smalled will be
active. If this isn't checked, the d&d interface for the main edit window is
turned of. Drag-n-drop from the titlebar-icon will still work. Use this option
if you prefer the DragText utility for handling the d&d for Smalled's main
window or if you don't want to use drag-n-drop.
Load cursor position: Smalled saves the cursor-position when a document is
saved. If this checkbox is flagged, this position is restored when a file is
opened.
Load/save file settings Smalled will save a number of document attributes in
the Extended attributes attached to the documents file. If this option is
checked the attributes are saved. This means a slightly longer load time for
FAT drives. In case of HPFS drives this shouldn't make any difference in load
time. If this option isn't checked, no document info is saved or loaded. This
means the documents are always displayed with the defaults set in the Text
preferences.
Saved are:
Font.
Wrap mode.
Indent mode.
Linelength.
Tabsize.
Cursorposition.
The attributes saved in a files ea's can be viewed with the File information
option from the File menu.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.2. Backup preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Backup Preferences let you customize the complete handling of all kinds of
backups Smalled supports.
Smalled creates backups that are numbered with extensions from B01 to B99. The
original extension will be lost. For Smalled to be able to make these backups,
a backup directory has to be assigned in the Backup directory section. If no
name is entered, or an invalid name, no backup is made. If a backup has to be
made in the directory the original resides in, simply add a (dot) in the backup
directory entryfield. (Although for maintenance purposes this isn't the ideal
solution. A directory can be entered manually or by using the directory
selector. by pressing the small folder button after the entryfield.
Smalled can create Backups in several cases:
When the backup command is given
On opening of the file (check backup on fileopen).
When an autosave is executed (check backup on autosave). This will make a
backup of the file before it is saved by autosave. This way a roll back
system can be created.
Autosave will set the default for the autosave behaviour. If on, every
document will be automaticly saved after the given number of changes.
(Autosave can be togled when you're working on a document.) Autosave will
overwrite the original file you're working on! If you want to secure this
file, use backup on autosave.
Smalled features a separate shred function for the file you're currently
working on. As an extra on this function you can copy the file you're removing
to a shred-backup directory. If you want this, fill the shred-directory with a
valid directory name and click the checkbox.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.3. text preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Text Preferences are use to set the default values for the attributes used for
text display and handling. The default values are used when:
- New is invoked
- Smalled is opened without a file
- The load/save file setting isn't checked (General preferences)
- A file without Smalled ea's is opened
Note that every file can have it's own settings for most of the options in
this page. They will be saved in the files extended attributes
Fonts. Smalled can handle two default fonts which can be switched quickly.
(Note that every file can have and remember every possible font of your
choice!). To change the fonts click on the buttons labeled 1 or 2. The font
under 1 is the default font that is used when a new file is opened. The font
under 2 is an alternate font. These fonts can be recalled quicly by using the
Default font and Alternate font menu-options.
Wrap controls the default wrap mode as described in Wrap The Linelength will
be used by L-warp and by some text-formatting tools.
Indent controls the default Indent behaviour .
Tab controls the way Smalled default handles tab characters. You can set the
size a tab character can have in mm, or you can instruct Smalled to use a
number of spaces for a tab character. See also the tab dialog for more info on
tabs.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.4. Toolbar preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled contains a fully configurable toolbar which can be modified in the
toolbar preference page. Every change that is made will be effective
immediately. This means that if a button is added or removed, the toolbar will
instantly change. Listbox: The largest part of this page is filled by a
listbox in which all the possible toolbar entries are mentioned. If an entry
is selected, the button will appear in the toobar, if it is deselected, it
will be removed from the toolbar. The empty spaces between logical groups of
buttons are marked as [Empty space] and can also be added or removed.
Toolbar: If desired the toolbar can also be turned off. If this chackbox is
flagged, the toolbar will be visible, if it is deselected the toolbar will
instantly disappear.
Bubble help: The Bubble help can be turned of by default. This can also be done
by double clicking the right mouse button on the toolbar. By also checking the
Delayed button, the help bubble becomes a delayed help bubble. This means
you've got to hold your pointer above a button for +- 0.7 seconds before a
bubble appears.
Compact: This switch is used to make the toolbar more compact in size. The
buttons will move closer together. This gives small screens the upportunity to
show more buttons. Besides that You may also like it better than the normal
toolbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.5. Popup preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled contains a configurable context popup menu. Items: The popup area
contains items that can be added to the context popup. It works in the same
fashion as the toolbar preferences, just select the popup items you want in the
listbox. The context popup will always contain the cut, clear, copy and paste
items. Besides that it is context sensitive. The items that need a selection to
be active, will only appear in the popup when a selection is active. The
changes made for the popup will take effect immediately.
The popup will appear if the Right Mouse Button is pressed (if this isn't
changed in the OS/2 settings) while the mousepointer is over the editarea or
the main-message area of the Statusbar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.6. Statusbar preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled contains a configurable toolbar since version 1.40. In this
preferences page the areas that will show in the statusbar can be set. The
Statusbar can also be turned on and of. If you want to change the color or the
font of the Statusbar, simply use Drag-n-Drop of a color or a font.
Statusbar: This switch turnes the statusbar on and off. This can also be done
with the statusbar switch in the options menu.
Fields: This area contains three fields in the statusbar that can be toggled.
The main message area will always be on.
If the Wrap andIndent area's are turned of, the popups attached to these area's
can't be invoked. The main-popup can always be invoked from the
main-message-area.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.7. color preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The set color option in the Options menu will start the change color dialog.
Note. In Merlin (Warp 4) Smalled supports and remembers 256 color drops. This
means you can change the background color to any color you like when wrap 4 is
used by simply using a color drop. In this dialogbox two areas with colored
squares are displayed. The left area controls the forground color (text), the
right area controls the background color. By single clicking on one of the
colored squares, the color of the sample underneath the colored areas will
change to the selected color.
If Set is clicked, the choosen color combination will be made current in
smalled. Besides that the selected color setting will be saved in the OS/2 INI
file and become the default color for the next sessions.
The colors used in this color dialog are the 16 standard solid colors (first 16
squares). The other nine colors depend on the setting of the system colors on
your machine. If these colors are changed (use scheme palettes), the colors in
this dialog as well the edit area may change. The next nine colors in the color
dialog map to the following system colors.
1 Window background
2 Active titlebar
3 Desktop
4 Active window border
5 Standard MLE background
6 Standard text color
7 Help background
8 Help highlight
9 Neutral color (Text)
You may also change the colors of smalled by dropping colors on the smalled
window. Every part of the smalled window (title, statusbar, menu etc.)can be
changed using 256 colors. These colors will also be saved as default. The main
edit area however accepts only 16 basic solid colors in Warp 3.0 and lower.
Besides that dropping a color on the edit area will have the same effect as
applying a color.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.8. Dialogs preferences ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled can save the last position of the find and replace dialogs.
If the checkboxes are on, the find and replace dialogs will appear at the last
used position. If the check-boxes are off, the dialogs appear relative to the
mouse-pointer. In this case, starting a find or replace dialog from the
main-menu, the popup or the toolbar will all result in different positions on
the screen.
The open and the font dialog. are a different story. If a font or open dialog
is dragged, the position will be remembered during the session. If Smalled is
closed and opened again, the position of these dialogs will again be the left
lower corner of the screen. If the chackboxes for these dialogs are set, the
position will be remembered through sessions.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.9. Set default dir ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled features four default directories that are used by the file-dialog.
This dialog is used for opening or saving files. In this dialog a choice can be
made of one of the directories. The radiobutton in front of the default
directories will determine the directory that is used when the file-dialog is
opened.
The directories can be entered by hand, or can be quickly selected by pressing
the directory button after the entryfields. This button will start the
directory selector.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.10. Tools ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Tools contains only one item yet. This is the directory where Smalled can
find The Smalled HTML Extensions. If no path is entered, Smalled will think
that the Smalled HTML Extensions are placed in the current directory. If it
can't find SMEHTM in the given path an error message is displayed.
A path can be entered manually or by using the directory selector.
Note that SMEHTM has to be able to find it's DLL. If it can't find it, it won't
start and Smalled will show an error. Refer to the SMEHTM help for more
information.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.5.12.11. Directory selector ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The preferences pages for tools, default directories and Backup contain a
button with a folder on it. With this button, the directory selector can be
started.
This dialog will switch to the directory mentioned in the entryfield and
features an easy way to select a directory. To switch to a directory, select
this from the the listbox. To switch from drive, select a drive from the drive
selector. Cancel shuts-down the dialog without transfering the selected
directory to the preference page. OK does transfer the choosen directory to the
preference page.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6. The Tools menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Tools is a menu that is added since version 1.40. It contains a number of
utilities that can format the text currently selected in a large number of
ways.
To upper.
To lower.
Wordcount.
Text format.
Smalled HTML Extensions.
Strip HTML.
New Smalled Session.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.1. To upper ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This menu option performs an uppercase conversion for the selected text. This
action can be undone if the selected text doesn't exceed 64 Kb.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.2. To Lower ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This menu option performs an lowercase conversion for the selected text. This
action can be undone if the selected text doesn't exceed 64 Kb.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.3. WordCount ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Worcount counts the words in the selected text. If no text is selected,
wordcount will count the words for the full document. The result will be
displayed in the statusbar .br The Smalled wordcount function takes the
following characters as word separators:
<space> <cr> <tab> - . , ( ) < > \ / ! = +
By using these chars as separators you might get another count from Smalled
than from other editors or wordprocessors because they might use other
word-separators.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.4. Smalled HTML Extensions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This options starts a separate product that can work together with Smalled and
which is used to create HTML documents.
By the time of the release of this version of Smalled (1.40) the 1.00 version
of the Smalled HTML extensions is already out there. It can be fetched as
SMEHTM10.ZIP from Hobbes or the BMT sites. If you register Smalled, SMEHTM can
be registered for only an additional $7. This means that Smalled +SMEHTM will
cost $25.
(More about the Smalled HTML Extensions can be found in the Other Bianchi
software products section of this help.)
BTW. For those of you who've already registered SMEHTM (thanks), the
registration codes will change with the next release of SMEHTM. This because
some asshole cracked the SMEHTM registration codes and is distributing them
freely over Russian BBSes. I don't know why he finds this $7 application
important enough to crack. I loath this kind of piracy (It will kill
inexpensive shareware) and and I see no other way to fight it than to bother
you with a redistribution of new codes, sorry for this .br Eric
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.5. Strip HTML ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This function will strip all HTML code from the entire text. If a selection is
active, only the selected text is stripped. This action can be undone by using
Undo .
Besides the fact that all HTML codes between < > are stripped, the codes like
&aUmlaut. are also stripped. The unaccented letter is showed inplace of the
&xxx.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.6. New Smalled session ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
It is possible to invoke a new instance from Smalled from the tools menu. The
new Smalled instance will be placed directly over the current Smalled session,
or it will be cascaded depending on the setting in the general preferences.
Smalled will locate it's path automaticly, so the Smalled exe file doesn't have
to reside in the Path.
There are other ways to start multiple Smalled sessions. (These will also be
autocascaded if the checkbox in the general page is checked). See Start
multiple Smalled instances for more info about creating a Smalled object.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7. Text-format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In version 1.40 the Text-formatting utilities are introduced. This set of
tools makes it possible to reformat selected parts in a document in a large
number of ways.
The possibilities from these utilities are accessable in two ways. From a
dialog which will let you combine 8 different formatting tools and so creating
the possibility to perform a powerfull conversion with the push of a button.
The second method is to access single tools from the Text-format submenu or
through hotkeys and so performing single reformatting tasks.
Text format dialog.
Reflow.
Linebreak.
Remove CR.
Remove tabs/sp.
Insert Indents.
Insert >.
If a reformatting action is imvoked on a selected text part smalled then 48 Kb
the action can be undo by using UNDO
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.1. Text-format dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The textformatting dialog contains a number of tools that can be used in one
action to reformat the selected text. The dialog is build around three
different groups that perform distinctive tasks during reformatting.
To perform a function on the selected text, you've got to check this function
and hit OK. It is advised to experiment with this dialog to understand it's
power.
The text-format functions are intelligent enough to be combined. Smalled will
handle them in a sequence that will secure a problemless reflow of text. At the
end of this page the precedence of the several format options is mentioned.
Reflow text. This group contains the items that will reflow the selected text.
Remove Returns: This function will remove all the single <cr> characters
from the selected text. If a double <cr> is encountered, they will be
left alone. This way paragraphs will be preserved when performing this
action. This function can a.o. be used to convert a line-wrapped document
to a word-wrapped document.
Remove multiple spaces/tabs This function removes all multiple spaces and
tabs or combinations and replaces it with a space or a tab (whatever is
last in the replaced block).
Indent This function will indent the selected text with the indent shown
in the first line of the selected text. So for this function to work you
first have to indent a line and then select and proces it.
Linebreak at: This function searches for the last tab or space within the
given linelength and replaces this with a <cr>. if there is no space or
tab within the given scope, the <cr>is entered on the exact position
given in the dialog.
Text This group has two entries that actually modify the text. It will
probably see most of it's use by formatting mail text.
Remove at linestart This removes a string of characters that is currently
showing at the start of the selected lines. In most cases this will be
used to remove mail markers like >.
Insert at linestart This inserts a new 'flag' at the linestart. This
insertion will be performaed after the text is formatted (although for
linebreak the length of the insertion string is included). Just like the
previous function, this one will most likely be used in mail formatting.
Tabs The two entries in this group will perform a conversion from tabs to
spaces and vice versa. Both obtions are mutually exclusive.
Tabs to spaces This option converts a tab to a given number spaces.
Spaces to tabs This option converts a given number of spaces to one tab
character.
Performing a text-format with several options checked has a certain
intelligence. Smalled will perform these functions with a certain precedence
and exclude functions if they are impossible to perform. (For example an
indent that's bigger than the linelength for a linebreak.) Besides that the
linebreak will recalculate the linelength according to indents and insert at
linestart etc.
Smalled will perform the formatting functions with the following presedence.
Remove Multiple spaces/tabs
Remove at linestart
Remove CR
Tab to spaces (indent will stay intact)
spaces to Tab (indent will stay intact)
Linebreak
Insert chars at linestart
Insert indents
The textformatting dialog also has some intelligence in handling the input.
Yoy don't have to check the checkboxes for insert/remove. They are automaticly
set when text is entered. If the field is emptied, the checkboxes are
automticly undone. The same kind of behaviour is added for the tab-space
conversion section.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.2. Reflow ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Reflow can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can be
invoked through the Text-format submenu or by hitting the CTRL-< hot-key.
Reflow Will invoke all the formatting options in the reflow text group of the
The Text format dialog. This means the functions, Remove CR, Remove multiple
tabs/spaces, Linebreak and insert indent will be performad at once. As
linelength the current linelength will be used.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.3. Linebreak ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Linebreak can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can be
activated by the Linebreak option from the text-format submenu or by pressing
the Ctrl-L hot-key.
Linebreak will enter <cr> characters at the linelength for the current
document. This linelength can be changed by using the Linelength dialog..
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.4. Remove CR ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Remove CR can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can be
activated from the Text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-Backspace
hot-key.
Remove CR will remove the <cr> (return) characters from the selected text. If
a double <cr> is encountered, it will be left in place. This way Paragraph's
are preserved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.5. Remove Tabs/Sp ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Remove Tabs/Sp can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can
be invoked through the Text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-Space
hotkey.
Remove tabs/sp removes all multiple spaces and tabs or combinations and
replaces it with a space or a tab (whatever is last in the replaced block).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.6. Insert indents ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Insert indents can only be invoked if there is a text selection active. It can
be invoked from the text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-Tab hotkey.
Insert indents will indent every line in the selected text with the indent
shown in the first line of the selected text.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.6.7.7. Insert > ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Insert > can only be invoked if there is a text selection active.It can be
invoked from the text-format submenu or by pressing the Ctrl-> hotkey.
Insert > is added for the mail user. Normally a reply mail will mark the
original text with a > character. By invoking this function, the lines in the
selected text will be marked with a >.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.7. The context popup menu ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Since version 0.96, Smalled has a context sensitive popup menu. This menu will
be activated as the mouse button2 is clicked on the edit area or on the
main-message area of the statusbar. This popup will contain the most used edit
functions, Cut, Paste, Copy and Clear.
From these items the popup will show only those items that can be activated. So
if text is selected, the popup will at least show the functions Copy, Clear and
Cut. If no text is selected, those options won't show. For the paste option the
clipboard is checked. If it cantains valid data, the paste options will be
displayed.
If no popup is showing on a right mouse click, there probably isn't any text
selected and the clipboard will be empty.
The functionality of the context popup is largely expanded in version 1.00.
Since this version a number of actions can be added to the popup. Besides the
Copy, Cut, Paste and Clear functions, Open, Save, Save as, copy to, Print,
Find, Find again, Replace, Goto and Undo can be added. To set your choice of
popup functions, use the Preferences dialog.
NOTE: There is a great package to enhance the desktop. It's called NPSWPS
(check it out). However since version 1.81 of this package there is an
incompatibility with Smalled. Having the NPSWPS Entry Field Menu enabled causes
Smalled's context popup to disappear. If you want to use Smalled.s popup
instead of NPSWPS's popup, you should disable the Entry File Menu in NPSWPS.
This option can be found under the OTHERS tab in the NPSWPS package. Note, the
main-popup can always be invoked from the main-message area of the statusbar!
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4.8. Accelerator editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled has a default set of Accelerator keys (also called hotkeys). to
quickly execute the items in the menu's.
With the Accelerator editor you can assign any accelerator key combination of
your choice to every menuitem Smalled has. The changes made will be saved and
shown in the Smalled menu's. To start the Smalled Accelerator editor, hold down
the ALT key and click on the menu (or toolbar icon) you like to change. This
will start the following dialog:
The editor will show the current Accelerator setting for the menu-item that is
being edited. If no information is showing in the Accelerator box, no
Accelerator key is present for the current menu-item.
For the key field you can use any key you like. Teh accelerator is automaticly
created for upper and lowercase characters, So creating an accelerator for
CTRL-u and CTRL-U is not neccesary. If you want to use an virtual key (ESC, F1,
F2...., INS, Del, Tab, etc.) use the dropdown list attached to the key field to
select such a key.
If you try to set a key that already exist, A beep will sound and the dialog
won't dissappear after the SET action.
Deleting a key can be done by deleting everything in the Key field and using
SET.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. About Smalled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled is a 32 bit multi-threaded PM applet that is written in Borland C++
2.0. A must in the development of Smalled was to try to incorporate at least
all the goodies OS/2 has to offer. Smalled features:
Toolbar with Bubble-help
Statusbar
Complete Drag-n-Drop support
Clipboard support
INI Support (Saving size, place, Etc.)
EA's (Saving fonts, wrap, indent, tab-size)
WYSIWYG Printing
Multi-threading
ATM support
Context popup
Just like other Bianchi Software products, Smalled was created out of a need
to learn and because I needed the application I was creating. Initialy Smalled
was a spinoff from this process, but it has evolved beyond that. This program
is the result of the user reactions I've got on earlier (free) versions of
Smalled and on the articles written in EDM/2 about it's development. A lot of
people have asked for features and encouraged me to expand this program. It
has taken so much out of my spare-time (and other resources) that I've decided
to make it (cheap) shareware so some of my expenses may become covered.
Most of the programming ins and outs are published in EDM/2. Three articles
about buidling an editor version 3-4, 3-6 and 3-9. One article in simple
buttonbars (EDM/2 issue 3-8) and bubble-help (issue 3-10). Where building
Confed learned me the basics, Smalled learned me how to handle EA's,
multi-threaded printing, drag-n-drop and device contexts.

SMEHTM
The Smalled HTML Extensions can be uploaded as SMEHTM10.ZIP from the Hobbes,
the BMT Micro and other anonymous OS/2 sites.
SMEHTM can work with Smalled, E.exe and other MLE based editors and turn them
into dedicated HTML editors. It acts as a small notebook that floats on-top and
that can be used to insert HTML tags into the text that is being edited It
supports a very large part of the HTML code set. Besides that, a version for
INF editing being prepared. Here is a screenshot of the bitmapped pagetags to
give an impression.
Registering SMEHTM costs 15$. However, if it's registered with Smalled, the
total package is 25$. This means a discount of 7$ on SMEHTM.
Confed
Confed, currently in version 0.8, is a config.sys editor. On the outside it has
the same look and feel of Smalled. This application makes editing/creating the
config.sys real easy. It features custom edit controls for the config commands,
on-line help for the config.sys, and most of the features of Smalled like
Multithreading, direct manipulation, button-bar, etc. Check it out.
Confedxx.zip can be found on several OS/2 sites like ftp.cdrom.com and Hobbes.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. EDM/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
EDM/2 is a publication by developers for developers and is published by IQPac

Jr., Associate editor Carsten Whimster and Contributing editor Gordon
Zeglinski. Besides the columns these three add there are articles written by
independent authors. EDM/2 is out there for three years now and is a very high
standard publication. For me it was one of the most used sources for example
code and explanations while building Smalled and the other OS/2 projects I do.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12. How do I ..... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Get help fast
Use multiple Smalled instances
Use Drag-n-Drop in Smalled
Edit accelerator keys
Open a file
Save a file
Use the file-history
Change a font
Save a font
Set preferences
Print a document
Change word wrap
Change tab settings
Active vertical scroll
Goto line
Find a file
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.1. Open a file ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Opening a file can be done in three different ways.
- Using file-menu open (with the filehistory)
- Dropping a file object on the Smalled icon
- Dropping a file object on the Smalled edit area.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.2. Save a font ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The font selected by a document will be saved in the Extended attributes of a
file, as this file is saved.
The default font (font used when a new file is created or a file without
smalled ea's is opened) can be set if the Save button is invoked on the
Font-Dialog. This dialog is started if the set-font option is choosen from the
options-menu or from the button-bar.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.3. Print the document ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Printing the current document can be done by selecting the Print option of the
File menu or by selecting the print button . If a selection has to be printed
the "print selected" checkbutton must be flagged.
Another way is to drag the titlebar icon to the printer if the whole text has
to be printed. If a selection has to be printed the selection can be dragged to
the printer.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 12.4. File history ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The file-history in Smalled is attached to the Standard file dialog This way
it can be used not only for opening a file but also for insert file, save as
and copy to. The file-history is attached to a drop-down list that is attached
to the file-name entry-field, This list can be operated in the same way a drive
can be selected. The cursor-down may be used to circle through the entries or
the button on the right of the entry-field can be invoked to show the entire
list.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13. Glossary / What is ... ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The following (technical) terms which may need further explanation are used in
this help document.
OS/2
Clipboard
Presentation parameters
Drag-n-drop
Multithreading
Direct manipulation
ATM fonts
Extended attributes
Standard file dialog

File-history
Bubble-help
DragText
Text-format
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.1. Multithreading ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Multithreading is the capability of OS/2 to perform more than one task at once
for one proces. For example you can access the help of this applet, and in the
meantime load, save or print a file. Both actions are taking place at the same
time . It's like walking and chewing gum at the same time. It's NOT like
Windows, which takes a step, performs a chew, takes a step, etc.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.2. IBM OS/2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
OS/2 is a registered trademark of International Business Machines. It's the
wonderfull operating system you are using at the moment.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.3. Presentation parameters ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Presentation Parameters are a set of properties which are attached to every
OS/2 control. These properties command the way a control looks. The most common
use is changing fonts and colors by dropping them on a control using Direct
manipulation.
If you want to change fonts or colors, you first have to open a font-palette,
color-palette or scheme-palette from the system setup folder.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.4. Clipboard ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The clipboard provides a temporary storage area for a piece of text, a bitmap
or a metafile. In Smalled the only interresting part is text. It will enable
you to move data within Smalled or share data with other applications.
The most common operations on the clipboard are:
Cut
Copy
Paste
The data in the clipboard is maintained in memory only. Clipboard data is
lost when the computer is turned off.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.5. Direct manipulation. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
One of the most attractive features of the OS/2 desktop is the possibility to
drag objects and drop them on another object and thus start an action involving
those two objects. This is called direct manipulation. In Smalled direct
manipulation is completely supported. Smalled even understands the DragText
rendering method. Besides that it's behaviour can be customized (see general
preferences).If Smalled is on the drag-site, selected text can be dragged by
starting a drag from anywhere on the edit-area as long as there is a block of
selected text. If the whole text has to be dragged, the drag can be started
from the title-bar icon.
The following actions can be invoked in Smalled by using Drag-n-drop:
Opening a file
Saving a file
Saving selected text
Copy and move of text
Shredding text / invoking new
Printing
Changing Presentation parameters
Working with DragText
A drag can be aborted by using the ESC key or the F1 (help) key. If F1 is
invoked, this help-page will be displayed.
WARNING: The use of drag-n-drop can randomly distort bitmaps and icons on your
system. This isn't a Smalled bug, it's a bug in OS/2 and it isn't fatal
because everything will work just fine. However it's very anoying. IBM fixed
this bug in Fixpack 8. So if you're experiencing trouble of this kind, just
install fixpack 8 or higher.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.6. DragText. ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
DragText is a utility written by Rich Walsh. This utility makes it possible to
use d&d from virtualy every OS/2 control. Besides that DragText has a lot of
extra's and it is an extremely well behaving utility. Smalled understands the
rendering method used by DragText, so if DragText is installed it can be used
seamlessly with Smalled. Drags are possible from Smalled to DragText supported
applications and vice versa.
Besides being able to drag text to every possible entryfield, DT also supports
drags from *every* OS/2 window. Besides that DT has the following extra's :
drop text on a WPS folder to create a file whose name is based on the
first few words of the text. You can drop one of these DragText files on
any supported window to insert the text.
if the text you drop on the WPS is a URL, DragText will create a
WebExplorer Url object. The object's title will be taken from the URL,
minus unnecessary words like "http://", "www", etc.
press Alt as you drop any file on a multiline entryfield to insert its
contents.
press Alt as you drop a folder on a multiline entryfield to insert a
formatted listing of the directory's files. You can configure the
formatting any way you want; you can even use it to write cmd files.
because DT can create files, you can drop text on many programs that
won't accept dragged text but will accept a file.
since DT now does so many things, it uses 6 different icons to show you
what will happen when you drop your text. You *must* have Fixpack 8 or
later installed; if you don't, this feature will be disabled to prevent
your system from crashing.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.7. Opening a file through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A file can be opened through drag-n-drop in several ways.
- If a file object is dropped on the Smalled icon, Smalled is started and the
file-object dropped on the Smalled icon is opened.
- A file object can be dropped on the Smalled edit area when Smalled is already
open. If Smalled doesn't contain text, the file is simply opened. If Smalled
contains text, the text of the dropped object will be inserted at the point it
is dropped. The complete dropped text will be selected after the drop.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.8. Saving a file through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Saving text through drag-n-drop is one of the nicest features of Smalled.
Saving can simply be achieved by dragging the titlebar-icon or a text selection
to the place where you want the text to be saved. the WPS will create a
data-file at the drop point containing the complete text currently in Smalled
or in the selection.
In the preferences dialog, you can set the way Smalled will set the filename.
The possibilities are: The original filename (the one that's in the titlebar)
is used for the save action or the system default [data file] is used. You
don't have to worry about duplicates or overwriting a file, the filesystem
simply numberes the file if it has the same name as an already existing file.
Future releases may have a dialog for customizing the drop-name.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.9. Saving selected text through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If the selected text has to be saved, simply start a drag operation from
anywhere on the edit area as long as a selection is active. You may drag the
selection to any place you like. The selection will be saved as data-file on
the place you drop it.
In the preferences dialog, you can set the way Smalled will set the filename.
The possibilities are: The original filename (the one that's in the titlebar)
is used for the save action or the system default [data file] is used. You
don't have to worry about duplicates or overwriting a file, the filesystem
simply numberes the file if it has the same name as an already existing file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.10. Copy and Move text through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Copying and moving text through drag and drop is supported in one instance of
Smalled or between instances of Smalled (or to EPM) and to all DragText
supported controls and applications that understand the native DRM_OS2FILE
rendering format.
A drag can be started from anywhere in the edit area as long as a selection is
active. The dragged text will be inserted at the drop point. If the SHIFT key
is pressed during the drag, a move is assumed. If this is the case, the dragged
selection will be deleted after the drop.
After the drop, the complete text will be selected.
If a drag has to be discarded, ESC will do the trick.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.11. Shredding text / invoking new through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Shredding (deleting) text is the same as invoking a clear on the selected text
with the difference that the selected text is dropped on the shredder. After a
shred operation, the deleted text can be retrieved by invoking an undo.
It's also possible to delete the whole text. In this case the titlebar-icon
must be dragged to the shredder. If this is done, Smalled will act just as if a
New operation is invoked.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.12. Printing through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
To print the complete contents of Smalled, the titlebar-icon has to be dragged
to the printer. If this is done, a normal print operation is started. In this
print action the dropped on printer is used.
In Smalled it's also possible to print a selection. Simply start a drag from
anywhere on the edit area (as long as a selection is active) and drop this
selection on the printer. The currently selected text will be printed using the
font, tab, etc. currently in use for that text in Smalled.
If a drag operation has to be discarded, use ESC.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.13. Changing Presentation parameters through drag-n-drop ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can change the color of any part of the Smalled main window (except the
smart icons) by dropping a color on it. To do this, open the system setup
folder and start the color palette. Choose a color and drop it on the part of
your choice For example one of the scrollbars. They will change color. If you
exit the application, the change will be remembered.
In a simmilar way, the Fonts can be changed. Start the font palette and pick a
font. Drop it on the menubar or on the edit area. The font will change. Changes
will be saved.
You can change both color and font in a single action by dropping a scheme
palette on Smalled. The scheme palette is also found in the system setup
folder.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.14. Working with DragText ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Many people use Rich Walsh's DragText package. This nice package can be used
with Smalled. Smalled understands the rendering methods used by DragText. This
means that Smalled can be used directly with no further changes with DT. You
may drag objects from DT supported controls of drag to DT supported controls.
Smalled can even be modified so that DT takes control over the d&d in the
Smalled edit window (see General preferences).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.15. ATM fonts ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The most fonts OS/2 uses are Adobe Type Manager fonts. These fonts are
scalable in all directions and are supported by Smalled. There are a lot of ATM
fonts that are freeware. They can be installed in OS/2. All the ATM fonts
installed in OS/2 can be used in Smalled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.16. Extended attributes ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In DOS and Windows, files only have 4 attributes (actually it's 6). Files can
be hidden, Read only, System or archived. OS/2 however can attach more
information (attributes) to a file. This information is known as the extended
attributes. They can have a maximum size of 64Kb for each file!
The creation date and the last access date are examples of extended attributes.
More extended attributes can be found in the settings notebook of a file. Most
common are:
- History
- Comment
- Keywords
- Icon
- long name
Besides these standard extended attributes OS/2 has the ability to use custom
EA's. Smalled uses four custom EA's to store the used font, the wrap setting,
the tab-size and the last used cursor position. The beauty of this approach is
that the file contents are pure ASCII and can be handled as such by every
other application.
Saving in the extended attributes will only be done if this is needed. If you
build a document using only the defaults and you don't adjust the font, tab,
indent or wrap, this info isn't saved. The next time you use the document, the
defaults are used.
Future releases of Smalled will probably see more EA access.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.17. Standard file dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Standard file dialog is the standard dialog OS/2 provides for disk access
actions. It enables you to change directories and drives and select a filename
from a listbox. The entered filename will be used to open, save, save as, copy
to or insert-files. In Smalled this dialog is modified to support some more
functions. The form of the dialog as used in Warp 4 or Warp 3 will be left
intact. As you can see in the bitmap some extra controls are added. Hint: Use
the default directory preferences in the options menu to set the directories
used by the open, save as, insert file and copy to actions.
The open dialog used in Smalled has some nice extra's. It has three major
extra's. It contains a file history a file find utility and a fast switch for
deafult directories.
The file entry field contains a drop down list with the 16 last used files.
Even files that are opened or saved through drag and drop are added to the
list. The list can be activated by using the small button on the right site of
the entryfield (just like the drive list), or the cursor keys can be used to
walk through the entries one by one.
The fileopen dialog is also modified so it can be used to find a file anywhere
on the system. If you change the contents of the 'Open filename:' entryfield,
the Search button will become available. If search is pressed, Smalled will
search the drive mentioned in the 'Drive:' field for the file entered. The
search will be conducted recursively from the directory active in 'Directory'.
So if the d:\files\smalled directory is current in the open-dialog. All
directories under this directory will be searched. The filename entered may
contain the wildcards * and ?.
The Smalled open dialog also supports other ways of finding a file (since
version 1.10). You may also enter a complete path with wildcards. If a
complete filepath is entered and a search is conducted, all the subdirectories
of the path entered are searched for the file mask. If you only want to search
the entered directory, simply press return after entering the filemask (! Not
the search button) and the File: listbox will show all the files in the
entered directory. If a filemask with only the driveletter is entered, the
whole drive is searched from the root.
If the search is started, the 'File:' listbox will change to 'Found:'. The
files that match the query will be displayed in that listbox. If one is
selected it will be displayed in the 'Open filename:' entryfield. If OK is
pressed, this file will be opened. If Cancel is pressed, the search will be
aborted and the found listbox will dissapear. There is a quicker way to open a
found file. Just double-click on one of the found names and Smalled will open
it.
If the search is conducted in a drive/directory combination isn't of your
liking, just change them and press search again. The search currently underway
will be aborted and a new search will be started.
If no matching files were found, a message stating so will be displayed in the
'Found:' listbox.
The dialog also contains the buttons 1, 2, 3 and L. These buttons will activate
the directory set in the default directory preferences. The directory activated
as default is also determined in these preferences. The buttons switch fast to
the chossen dorectories, or the last used directory.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 13.18. Standard font dialog ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The standard font dialog is provided by OS/2 for a consistant way of selecting
fonts. It enables you to select a font, select its attributes and style and set
its point-size. An example of the selected font will be shown in the dialog.
Smalled uses a slightly modified version of thsi dialog to make a difference
between saving a font as default and applying one. If the save buton is
pressed, the font of the text currently loaded is changed and the font is saved
as the default. If apply is pressed, the font used in the text loaded is
changed. This font is saved with the file in the ea's as the file is saved.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14. Limitations of Smalled ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This help entry is added in version 0.9. It is added to point out to users
what can and can't be done with Smalled. With the release of Smalled 0.95 some
of these items have become possible. Most noticeble active scrolling and color
changing.
Smalled is based on the MLE control found in OS/2. As such it can be seen as a
shell which makes it possible to acces this control easily. The MLE control
(Multi Line Edit) can be found in more places in OS/2, for example in the third
page of the file tag of the settings notebook. In this page comments etc. can
be added. The control used to do this is the MLE control. MLE was intended to
edit small pieces of text, typically 4kb. I found it was able to handle very
large amounts of text (several MB's), although performance may suffer as if you
try this. If you use Smalled you have to live with the limitations of the MLE
control until I find time to write my own MLE control which (of course) won't
suffer from these limitations, or until I find a work around.
The following items limit the use of smalled.
Load and save performance
64Kb clipboard support
If you have any comments beside these items please let me know.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.1. Load and save performance ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In smalled loading (large) files is slow while saving the files is fast. How
come? The MLE control was intended to handle small amounts of text. It was
never designed to be a full sized editor. So this control is limited to 64Kb of
text. Smalled is capable to handle larger files because there is a way around
this, load and save the files in chunks of 64 Kb.
When saving a file, the MLE control releases the 64 Kb chunks very fast so
saving is fast. It seems even faster because it's handled multi threaded.
Loading a (large) file is slow because MLE has to prepare a 64 Kb chunk of
memory before loading 64 Kb of text. When it does this MLE displayes the clock
pointer. With Every consecutive 64 Kb block that has to be prepared the prepare
time grows. This makes loading slow and nothing can be done to speed it up
(Until I write my own MLE control). If you're using files up to +- 300 Kb you
shouldn't even notice this. Files of 1 Mb and larger suffer greatly from this
slowing down.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 14.2. 64Kb clipboard support ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The MLE control also handles clipboard support. With one message the selected
text is copied to the clipboard. This has one limitation, the maximum amount of
text that the MLE can copy to the clipboard is 64Kb. This is because the MLE
control is limited to handling 64 Kb of text. I haven't found a way around
this. You will be noticed if you try to cut, copy or paste more then 64 Kb.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 15. Keys help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
As with all good applications there are some 'hot keys' defined which will
make life a little easier. Also a few mouse actions are defined as shortcuts.
Smalled has a nice extra here, Accelerator editor. This editor is started by
holding down the ALT key while selecting a menu item. Changes will be saved and
shown in the menu's.

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 16. Getting help fast ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Smalled is designed with virtually all the OS/2 possiblities on board. So it
is possible to jump to a particular help page fast.
Help for the toolbar buttons can be obtained by pressing the button and holding
the mousekey down. If F1 is pressed while the mousebutton is held down, the
help page for the particular button action is displayed. Another quick way to
obtain help for buttons is to turn on Bubblehelp.
Help for menu items can be obtained in the same fashion. Just hold down the
mousekey on a selected menu or menuitem and press the F1 key.
Help dialogs can be obtained by the help buttons displayed on the dialogs or by
pressing F1.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 17. Multiple Smalled instances ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You may start Smalled more then once. You can even use Direct manipulation
between the Smalled instances. The easiest way to start multiple instances is
to create a new program object anywhere you like from the templates folder and
set Smalled.exe as the file to be executed.
The next step is setting the "Object open behaviour" in the window tab. If this
is set to "Create new window", a new instance of Smalled is started each time
the smalled program icon is clicked.
Multiple Smalled instances can also be created from within the Smalled
interface. This can be done with Open or New depending on the settings in the
general preferences page. Besides that a new Smalled session can always be
started from the tools menu.
Note that mutiple Smalled instances will auto-cascade if the autocascade
checkbox is set in the general preferences page.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 18. Bubble-help ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In version 0.96 bubble help is included. When bubble-help is activated, a
small window appears under a toolbar button when you mouse over it. This window
contains a short discription concerning the function of the button currently
under the mouse pointer.
This function is considered usefull for first time users. In the long run these
bubbles tend to irritate. So the default for bubble-help is off! To activate
bubble-help doubleclick the mousebutton2 on the toolbar. If bubblehelp is
turned on it will be mentioned in the statusbar. To turn bubblehelp off
doubleclick again on the toolbar.
